Is there a dress code? How to choose the right clothes for a holiday in Dubai? What are the rules for women and men?
Responds Elena Khryapina, Russian Express company
When choosing clothes, it is worth remembering that the UAE is a Muslim state. Nudity is not encouraged here. Travelers are advised to choose thin, loose clothing. In some hotels for dinner, it's decided to change clothes - everything depends on the level and democracy.
- Men should refrain from walking around the city in shorts and without a shirt.
- Women should not wear dresses above the knees, transparent clothes, show belly and back.
When choosing clothes, you should avoid miniskirts, deep decollete and translucent dresses on the naked body. Particular attention must be paid to tourists living in the Emirate of Sharjah, the most conservative in this respect. Too frank attire can create problems for you not only with the police, but also with local ladies who will immediately begin to make you "romantic" offers.
